π How to choose
Sugar, Salt & Jaggery: the buying guide
A family of four uses 3 to 5 kg of sugar a month, so 5 kg packs are the economical size; salt lasts far longer, so 1 kg is fine. Salt should be iodised and FSSAI marked; rock salt (sendha namak) is the fasting-day salt. Jaggery should be a dark golden brown without white patches; very pale gur is often chemically cleaned. Keep sugar and jaggery in airtight jars; both draw moisture.
